Skyrim Item Codes: How to Add Items

Use the player.additem command with a Skyrim item code to spawn any weapon, armor, potion or ingredient straight into your inventory.

With a single command you can spawn any weapon, armor, potion, ingredient, or miscellaneous object directly into your inventory. The only thing you need is the item's code — an 8-digit hexadecimal form ID that uniquely identifies it.

How to add an item

  1. Open the console with the tilde key (~). If you are not sure how, see our guide to opening the console.
  2. Type the command in the form player.additem <ItemID> <Amount>.
  3. Press Enter. The item appears in your inventory immediately.

Examples

  • player.additem 0001397E 1 — one Daedric Sword.
  • player.additem 0000000A 25 — 25 lockpicks (lockpick is 0000000A).
  • player.additem 0000000F 5000 — 5,000 gold (gold is 0000000F).

Finding item codes

Browse our full Skyrim item code list to copy any ID, or search in-game with the help command. Typing help "daedric sword" 4 lists every loaded form whose name contains that text, along with its current ID for your exact load order.

Notes & tips

  • Item IDs are hexadecimal — include all eight digits, leading zeros and all.
  • DLC and mod items use a load-order prefix in the first two digits, so their first byte changes between save files. The base-game prefix is 00 — see our DLC load-order prefix guide to find and save yours.
  • For consumables and crafting, see our potion and ingredient lists, which also carry copyable codes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the command to add items in Skyrim?

Use player.additem <ItemID> <Amount>. For example, player.additem 0001397E 1 adds one Daedric Sword to your inventory. The ItemID is the item's 8-digit hexadecimal form ID.

Where do I find Skyrim item codes?

Every item has an 8-digit form ID. You can look them up in our item database, or in-game with the help command — type help "daedric sword" 4 to search the loaded forms by name.

Why does my item code start with a different number?

Items added by official DLC (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn) and mods use a load-order prefix in the first two digits instead of 00. That prefix depends on where the plugin sits in your load order, so the same item can have a different first byte on different setups. Use help to read the live ID for your game.

Can I add multiple copies at once?

Yes. The last number is the quantity. player.additem 0000000A 100 gives you 100 lockpicks. Leave it blank or set it to 1 for a single copy.
